Abstract (en)

[origin: US5789698A] A composite projectile for an ammunition cartridge comprising a core formed for compacted power particulates and having opposite ends. The core is encapsulated within a jacket having an open end. A cap is contained with the jacket adjacent the open end thereof and is physically captured within the jacket in contiguous relationship to that end of the core nearest the open end of the jacket. The cap defines a fixed partition extending across the transverse cross section of the jacket that enhances the concentric positioning about the longitudinal centerline of the jacket of any powder particulates dislodged from that end of the core contiguous to the cap. The core preferably is formed from a cold-compacted mixture of tungsten and lead powders.
